GM has the capabilities to take the Genesis formula and destroy it at its own game. Imagine that same car with the 260 hp 2.0L turbocharged DI ecotec, the 3.0L DI V6, and the 3.6L DI V6. Performance and fuel economy would definitely exceed the Genesis as it stands now. Smaller, lighter, edgier, sophisticated, and efficient are the ways of the future. The Camaro has the latter two, the Genesis the first three. Put them together, and you're looking A-OK.
hmmm, just had images of GM taking the Cobalt SS Turbo onto a new level there.... could easily be done, or something along those lines. Of course, give it a nice cosmetic lift first
